Notes About The Poem

Petals of Peace

This story unfolds from the land down under
a family destroyed by the ccp’s blunder

Siblings fly to Beijing, their hearts real
Thousands of like minds, peaceful appeal

Defending belief in true, good, endure
basic human rights a mind that’s pure

But communist atheists, murderers and fools
70 years of stolen China control the rule

The head of ccp was shaken at the sight
ban Falun Gong of all their rights

Father and auntie, never returned home
leaving mother and child all alone

Grandfather died, his children dead
murdered by the devil red

Falun Gong lifted mother and child in strength
To tell the world their fate at great length

Around the table in the land down under
practitioners clarify the truth of the ccps blunder

and how Falun Gong lifted mother and child in strength
To tell the world their fate at great length

While cutting and Folding origami by the hour
sharing to the world, a beautiful lotus flower

each petal infused with truth,
                                         compassion
                                                     tolerance
                                                             petals of peace were born
